process of the first ventral segment impunctatc, the epipleurse 

 acuminate at two-thirds. 



Coccinella transgressa. 



Coccinella transgressa, Mvls. Op. in. p. 17 (1853) T. 



Oval, rather narrow, black, finely and rather obsoletely punc- 

 tate; thorax with the sides broadly, front margin narrowly, 

 ochreous; elytra ochreous with a narrow strtural line and an un- 

 dulate fascia at two-thirds blackish; underside and legs black. 

 L. \\ liu. N. India (Deyrolle). 



The type is in bad condition and evidently immature, but it 

 seems to belong somewhere in this genus.

Europe, N. Africa, Egypt, Syria, Siberia, N. California (St 

 Petersburg) ; in sandy places near the sea. C. Menetriesii differs 

 only by having the triangular spot at the anterior angles of the 

 thorax produced in a narrow border to the posterior angles, which 

 certainly does not seem to make a specific distinction. 



Ventral process sparingly punctured, plates V-shaped; meso- 

 sternum entire. Punctuation of elytra uniform, tolerably close, 

 distinct. 



Coccinella quinque-punctata.

Northern Eta-ope. Entirely black varieties are not uncommon, 

 but they may be readily known from C. IS-pmictata var. by their 

 dull appearance, and the slightly margined elytra. Punctuation of 

 the thorax close, rather fine; that of the elytra distinct; plates 

 V-shaped, ventral process punctate.
